Pricing quilts can be quite complicated - you want to at least get back the cost of all materials and your time, but a lot depends on the area you are in. I've seen small wall hangings (like Eleanor Burns log cabin wreath) with a $400 sticker price, which I thought was way out of line, as the fabrics were not even that spectacular at Keepsake Quilting in NH. Then I've seen twin and full size quilts priced for just a few hundred dollars, and I thought they were worth far more. And then there are the very expensive quilts, however, in that area of NH there are some expensive homes with wealthy people, so they will probably get $1000 for a quilt easily. A lot just depends on your market area and what they are willing to pay. I know that's probably not much help, but it's what the market will bear. I would start with moderate prices, if the quilts go quickly, then I would increase my rates with the next batch of quilts and see what happens. Good luck in selling your quilts.
